In the GK crossword in Saturday's Sun there was a clue.
The area of a baseball field directly in-front of the pitcher. (4,6)
I had d?a?,?e?t?r?
Obviously dead centre fits but I can't find any reference to it.Any ideas?

The pitcher's plate is 18" behind dead center of the mound.

sorry.d?a?,?e??r?

AKA pitching rubber. Perhaps centre though? Would never be spelled that way here. :)

Thanks aristo,I thought it must be the right answer;I also think that they should of used the american center instead of centre,when referring to baseball.cheers.

And I should have said should have not should of.Why doesn't this site have an editing option?

"Should of" seems more like an Americanism- thought you might have been teasing...or might of been?
